When using Jarry1250's SVGCheck (http://tools.wmflabs.org/svgcheck/) in Chrome or IE, perfectly valid SVGs return the error "That file doesn't appear to be an SVG file." Trying the same files in Firefox works fine.
Wikimedia User Perhelion has mentioned a possible alternate mime-type for SVGs which might help: image/svg. Or maybe just look at how Wikimedia determines mime-types, as the files work fine there. I wish I could find a way to test what my Chrome configuration is choosing as the mime-type for SVG files. I do note that Perhelion is not running into the same problems I am having, so I'll add more information. Chrome 38.0.2125.111 on Windows 7 Home Premium SP1.
